Nick, I understood your comment about encrypted/unencrypted data. About that three lines of mod_rewrite, I use them to provide round-robin for my two web servers. I want to know if this lost of POST data is the expected apache's behavior when redirecting. Regards, Fabricio. 2007/7/12, Nick Kew <nick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:

That is particularly pointless. The data have already been
POSTed over the wire unencrypted for all to see, and now you're
asking the client to re-post them encrypted. What actually happens
is up to the browser, and how the user reacts to the security
messages. If the data should be secure, you need to use the https
address in the first place.
It's also over-complex to use three lines of mod_rewrite where a
single Redirect would do the same job for less effort.
